Answer:

The answer is: y = 2/3x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given point: (3, -1)

Given equation: y = 2/3x - 5, which is in the form y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

Parallel lines have the same slope. Use the point slope form of the equation with the point (3, -1) and substitute:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - (-1) = 2/3(x - 3)

y + 1 = 2/3x - 6/3

y + 1 = 2/3x - 2

y = 2/3x - 3

Proof:

f(3) = 2/3(3) - 3

= 6/3 - 3

= 2 - 3

= -1, giving the point (3, -1)

Hope this helps! Have an Awesome Day!!  :-)

Lines k and p are perpendicular, neither is vertical and p passes through the origin. Which is greater? A. The product of the sl
AlladinOne [14]
What do we know about those two lines?

They are perpendicular, meaning they have the same slope.
We know the slope of both is not zero (neither is vertical).
Therefore either
1) Both slopes are positive and therefore the product is positive
2) Both slopes are negative and therefore the product is positive (minus by a minus is a plus)

For the y intercepts, we know that the line P passes through the origin.
Therefore its Y intercept is zero.
[draw it if this is not obvious and ask where does it cross the y axis]
Therefore the Y intercept of line K and line P is zero.
[anything multiplied by a zero is a zero]

So we know that the product of slopes is positive, and we know that the product of Y intercepts is zero.
So the product of slopes must be greater.

in your economics 101 class you have scores of 68,82,87 and 89 on the first four of five tests to earn a grade of a B or higher
Nadusha1986 [10]
(68 + 82 + 87 + 89 + x) / 5 > = 80
(326 + x) / 5 > = 80
326 + x > = 80 * 5
326 + x > = 400
x > = 400 - 326
x > = 74.......u would have to make at least a 74 to earn a B

Which is the equation of a line perpendicular to the line with the equation:<br>y = 1/4x + 2​
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

4x + y = k

Step-by-step explanation:

=> 4y = x + 8

=> x - 4y = -8

Slope = 1/4

The other line's slope = -4

4x + y = k is the answer.
